Thread: Hit a big ole Spanish

    Hit a big ole Spanish

    Got out on an invite over the weekend to a spot where my host had found over 12 coppers in two days hunting. I mucked around with some trash and buttons but didn’t score until the end of the day with a super deep iffy signal that I went after because of the site I was on. At over 12” with the Nox 1795 2 Reale.
    It’s been 23 years since my last 2 Reale. Get out there guys.
